Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved garment container. Fig. 2 is a vertical -section of the same showing a garment therein. Fi 3 is an enlarged sectional de tail of one o the-moth-ball containers.

'The bag body' 1 is made of any suitable fabric material and has buttons 2 at the one end of the front side or flap 3 of the bag body,

The back side or iap 4 has an over-hanging portion which has .button-holes 5 for attaching thel back side of the'bag body to the front side of the bag body, the extended portion of the back side 4 of the bag body being turnedover and fastened to theifront side.

"Thetopof l`the bag: bodyi 'is' fastened to ..themothball container 6, this moth-ball v container being placed-inside and Abetween thefront and back flaps ofthe bag body and isfpreferably made as will be more fully described hereinafter, and when this container 6 is in proper position at the extreme top part of the bag 'body a strip 7, preferably metallic, is fastened and preferably riveted around that portion of the bag body wherein it passes over the container except at the end 8..

The end 8 of the bag body is cut out so as to allow forv the insertion of the plug A9 so that the containei` 6 can be gotten at without disturbing any portionv of the inner part of the bag or the -garments or articles contained therein.

The container -6 is an ordinary longitudinal box preferably made of wood inclosed on three of its sidesand one end, theend 8 being left open for the insertion of aplug 9 which is also preferably madeof wood. The 'fourth side of the container consists of a perforated plate or preferably a piece of metallic wire netting, the purpose of the perforated plate'or wire netting being to allow the antiseptic qualities of the contents of the container to pass through the'perforations or-the openings in the wire netting.
